    This is my first published map. I have been working on this map since November (I know right). Aesthetically it is not very pleasing, but I think the gameplay makes up for that. A lap is about 2 minutes in length.

    I tried to lay down some interesting track in-between the natural raceways of forgeworld. My favorite part is the rock track leading to the big jump. Please enjoy and leave a comment. I would love to know what you guys think.

    The start

    Thanks for taking time to even look at my map. Makes the hard work worth it.

    Congrats on the first published map!! :)

    There are a ton of race maps now on Reach so if you want to make all your hard work worth it you are going to have to make it stand out. This map doesn't stand out to me. There are many of race maps that look just like this. The key to a successful race map is aesthetics and originality, and this map seems to be lacking in both. Also a longer lap time isn't always key. With longer maps players may become board and end the game early and you don't want that to happen.

    You are definitely a good forger because it takes a lot of time and skill to just build a decent race map that works. But if you want to become a great forger you need to go that extra mile and WOW people with your work. Also I'm sorry for grilling you on your first map post, but I think this is for the greater good if you get some constructive criticism. And remember to keep forging!! :)

    cool. it looks like a good terrain track, and it has a lot of unique areas. my personal favorite part would be the rock area, because i think it looks cool with the antennas and all to decorate it. nice job, i bet kicking wing would love this.

    Knight: I know about how plain it looks, but I was focusing on being able to make a smooth track. The other maps I am working on look a lo better. The only other map on my file share for example. Thanks for the feedback guys I really appreciate it.
    Glad you like it Death eye
